Impossible arrangements
Arranging safe and secure child care is necessary for parents of dependent children to maintain their participation in the labor force. This article uncovered the extreme version of work-childcare conflict faced by low-income mothers. The constant, underlying threat of the loss of income and unsafe conditions for children influences child care and work, hindering their ability to move out of poverty even when employed. This qualitative study uses…
Triple Role Overload
Much has been written about work-family conflict for professional women, while little attention has focused on poor working mothers. Stuck in low-wage jobs, millions of working mothers rely on public benefits to supplement poverty wages. This article looks at the ways in which work-family-welfare conflict affected mothers' ability to maintain a stable family and work life. Using interview data and focus group data collected in Colorado, Georgia, …
The Winding Path to Degree
Single mothers have the lowest rates of degree completion of any demographic group when they pursue higher education as a path out of poverty. This article explores the obstacles student mothers face when they pursue higher education. The lived experiences of participants add context to data about low rates of degree completion. Findings are based on a 3-year qualitative study, including 66 in-depth interviews with 37 unique participants of an an…
Moving "Up and Out" Together
Bearing children is often viewed as negatively impacting the social mobility of low-income single mothers. This analysis draws on 66 in-depth interviews with low-income, single-mother participants in an antipoverty program in Boston. The author argues that the mother-child relationship is at the center of efforts by these single mothers to move out of poverty. Interviewees repeatedly expressed the primacy of their children's needs being met in or…
Samuelson's ghosts
Over a quarter of a century has passed since the 1987 publication of Paul A. Samuelson’s historiographical manifesto ‘Out of the closet: A program for the Whig history of economic science’, summarising arguments that had developed during a 16-year debate provoked by his 1971Journal of Economic Literature article on the Marxian transformation problem. Samuelson’s intervention marked a defining turning point in the evolution of contemporary economi…
I Will Never Forget
Towards an Accurate Description of Affordability
This paper draws upon the poverty literature and examines the desirable properties of a descriptive statistic of affordability—namely, that it should satisfy three axioms, monotonicity, transfer and transfer sensitivity. The descriptive statistics of headcounts and averages do not satisfy these three axioms and policies using these statistics as allocative tools may be misallocating resources. The paper advocates the use of a Foster, Greer, Thorb…
Psychiatric education improves internistsʼ knowledge
Trainees were randomized into four groups: (1) control; (2) consult; (3) liaison; or (4) consult-plus-liaison to evaluate the psychiatric knowledge gained after two different training programs for primary care residents. Consult was a 1-month rotation on the Psychiatry Consultation Service. Liaison consisted of 31-hour workshops over 1 year. Consult-plus-Liaison refers to both training programs, experienced in consecutive years. An oral examinati…
